Lesson
Although capacity has been developed (though not always retained) at an individual level, the benefits are less evident within MESC or more broadly. Capacity development could have been greater had MESC capacity been thoroughly assessed during design or had design fully considered the absorptive capacity of a small ministry. High staff turnover at the management level also contributed to challenges in building capacity.

Lesson
Greater flexibility in design and adherence to targets might have enabled more discussion and better communication and decision making within an ambitious time frame, especially during the first year. The design and monitoring framework (DMF) could have been revised early on, reducing the pressure on the Ministry of Education, Sport, and Culture (MESC) and alleviating the sense that they were not achieving results.

Lesson
The technical assistance (TA) fostered a gradual but notable increase in the Weinan Municipal Government (WMG) appreciation for waterbird and saltpan management, confirming the importance of the training activities. This was demonstrated by the project management office (PMO) promoting the values of the Luyanghu saltpans after the TA. The TA benefited from the small but strong consultant team, which networked effectively with the WMG and Shaanxi Department of Forestry and resulted in scaling up of the training to involve virtually all provincial wetland agencies.
